How is the average gun owing husband supposed to sleep with his wife if he can't hold the threat of imminent death over her head? How is he supposed to get his teenage kids to take out the trash? Or, relate to a neighbor?

I don't really want to know the answer to this but - you guys do have the gun in your mouth while you jerk off, right?

cretinbob:The house clearly threatened him by acting like it had a gun, so he was completely within his Second Amendment rights

Not in California, he wasn't! He has to try to retreat to safety. If the house gives chase, THEN he can shoot it. Dude should have just waited for an earthquake or, if it's on a hill, a heavy rain. Then he could have yelled "It's comin' right for me!!!" when it started moving and blasted the crap outta it.

Big Dave:This is basically the whole point of owning guns in this day and age.

The gun he used is illegal to own in CA. Even if it was semi-auto, a gun legal to own in most other states, it would have still been illegal to own in CA. And if it's a semi-auto that he converted to full auto, he also violated Federal law by willfully violating the National Firearms Act of 1934 -- a crime that carries a max sentence of five years in Federal prison and a $250,000 fine -- as well as Firearm Owners' Protection Act of 1986. It's very likely he violated the Gun Control Act of 1986.
